I'm wondering how long the immunity from the rabies booster dose lasts. I got my booster shots on the 9th and 12th of January, and now a cat bit me on the 28th. Should I be concerned about my rabies protection, or do I need another shot?

Given your hypothyroidism and thyronorm medication, consider the following possibilities:

Thyroid hormone levels might be fluctuating.

Anxiety or stress could be contributing to the increased heart rate.

Monitor your heart rate and blood pressure regularly.

Consult your endocrinologist or primary care physician to discuss potential adjustments to your thyronorm an appointment at the earliest to rule out any underlying conditions.

I'm really anxious right now. After I took off the condom, I accidentally touched the tip of my penis with the same hand. Could this be a risk for HIV or any other harm? I'm pretty scared about this.

I've noticed that every time I get a fever, malaria P. vivax seems to be the diagnosis, and I'm usually treated with Resochin 250mg and Basokuine. The problem is, it seems to come back again after some time. I'm really looking to find a way to prevent this from happening permanently. Any advice on what to do?

To prevent recurrent malaria caused by P. vivax, you will need a radical cure, usually with primaquine or tafenoquine, in addition to the standard treatment. Ensure you complete the full course of treatment, and take preventive measures to avoid mosquito bites and reinfection. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is essential to ensure there is no relapse. If you have frequent relapses, it's important to discuss this with your doctor, as they may recommend further investigation or a change in treatment approach.
